The birthrates collapsed accross ALL the West because sex can be bought and getting a woman naked is easy but relationships are 90% bad if you aren't with a woman that doesn't play society's dating game.
For all the 'Japan's rates are so bad they'll go extinct' (the majority of those stories are western propaganda to force immigration which thankfully the large older voting block is still saying fuck off to) compare them to China's birthrates and they aren't AS BAD. Japan could solve it's birthrate problem more telling the western media to fuck off and re adjusting their work life so it's less encouraging of overtime over personal life.
There must be more to it than that, because even relationships are less likely to result in children, where they would consistently get 4-5 children in earlier times. Part of it is that children are now a burden, when they were an asset to peasants (and societies where cultural norms are closer to agricultural ones).
I'm not sure how to fix it, but we first need to diagnose the problem.
Child labor, you just said that children are a burden when they used to be an asset. Parents could rent out their children to a factory for the price of food and a pod to sleep in.
Mandatory education is also a huge depressor. What's the point in having kids if you just act as a place that feeds them, keeps them overnight, and gets them ready for the real authority in the kids' lives, which is the government?
It turns out that when you take away people's authority (and charge them for the privilege), they become less invested in the product and less likely to have more of that product.
